The Best Resveratrol Source – Discover What It Is and How To Find It
If you're looking for the best resveratrol source, there are a few things you should know so you can make a more informed choice. With most supplements and foods, very little, if any actually reaches your bloodstream to do any good.

The best resveratrol sources include blueberries, red grape skins, peanuts and the Japanese knotweed plant. The reason why red wine was thought to provide some resveratrol was due to the fact it is fermented longer and with red grapes.

Although the French Paradox was initially thought to be down to the fact they drunk so much red wine, many now doubt that conclusion after studies showed very little reaching the bloodstream.

The paradox is that the French drink and smoke more than most populations but have much lower heart disease rates.

So what is the best resveratrol source?

It is in fact a multi nutritional supplement with the extract coming from the Japanese knotweed plant, the most potent source on the planet.

The reason is that when combined with other specific extracts like bromelain, the absorption rates are significantly increased and therefore the health benefits to you. This is the reason why powders are so useless, whatever the dose.

In fact, I have seen many doses advertized for 500mg a day and more but these are not proven to provide any additional benefits and as you now know, very little ends up in your system anyway!

Other potent extracts like green tea, gingko biloba, curcumin and olive leaf all enhance the power of resveratrol and allow you to benefit from the other nutrients too.

The best resveratrol supplements can help to improve your cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, potentially extend your life (according to the latest research on mice), help treat diabetes and being such a powerful antioxidant, it helps to fight the increasing amount of harmful free radicals your body produces as you age.

Look for a supplement with an enteric coating to get the most from it, as this enables the contents to avoid being destroyed by the stomach acid and be released in the upper intestine instead.

The optimal dose in this form is 10-20mg a day from trans-resveratrol as this is the most potent and active form.

So there you have it, how to get the maximum health benefits from this wonderful natural antioxidant, which can potentially improve your health in the present and in the future too.
